Obtaining an Online ID
Some of BCRA's online content is Open Access. During 2024 we shall be making more of
our back-catalogue available via this method. However there are still some items for which you
need to obtain an online ID.
Click/Tap a link or scroll on down.
How An Online ID works
There is no 'stand-alone' login procedure. You will be asked to log in only after
you have tried to download an item that requires a login. At that point you can request a free
monthly login for Cave & Karst Science. For other items, the procedures are described
below.
Access to CREG Journals
From July 2024 a standard BCRA Member's ID does not give
access to the CREG journal.
You can purchase an annual login for the CREG journal by using the CREG Journal Order Form. If you pay for a subscription on paper, this
comes with a free online ID, otherwise there is a small charge for the ID.
Subscriber Access to C&KS
If you are a Non-Member Subscriber to Cave and Karst Science we can issue you with
a free yearly login, on request. This option is suitable for libraries, universities and
other organisations that subscribe to C&KS. We can also issue you with IP access on
request. Please email
Publications-Admin@... to request access.
IDs for Other BCRA Content
As described above, most of BCRA's online content falls into one of the following
groups...
- Open Access to Cave and Karst Science
- Free monthly ID for access to Cave and Karst Science, including some content that
is not Open Access
- Free Annual ID for Cave and Karst Science; issued to non-member
subscribers, who can also ask for IP access.
- Subscription access to the CREG Journal
If you wish to access items that do not fall into one of those groups then you will need to
become a member of BCRA – see our Membership and Subscriptions page.
Once your membership has been processed, you should then contact us for an ID (see next section
below). Apologies but this process is not yet automatic and could take a few days for it to be
attenced to manually.
Obtaining a Member's ID
Whilst we develop an automated process for this, to obtain a Member's ID or to be reminded
of your existing login details, please email our
Publications-Admin@... address, quoting...
- Your name
- Your BCRA membership number – either five digits [old system], or ME followed by
six digits [new 2024 system]
- Your postcode
